Homocyst Capsules

It contains those biologically active vitamin compounds that are directly involved in homocysteine ​​metabolism.

Homocysteine ​​is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is produced in the body as a breakdown product of methionine metabolism. As with many other breakdown products, elevated levels lead to an imbalance in the body. Our body has various ways to maintain a balanced homocysteine ​​level and thus compensate for the negative effects of an imbalance.

Homocysteine ​​interacts with the collagen fibers of blood vessel walls, which can negatively impact their optimal function. Likewise, many methylation reactions in our cells depend on efficient homocysteine ​​degradation.

With the help of vitamin B6, the body converts homocysteine ​​into cysteine, which can then be excreted through the kidneys. However, our body is also able to convert homocysteine ​​back into methionine with the help of folic acid and vitamin B12, thus reusing it. The enzyme methionine synthase, which requires vitamin B12 as a coenzyme, is also involved in this process. Another degradation pathway occurs in the liver and kidneys, where homocysteine ​​is converted to methionine with the help of betaine-homocysteine ​​methyltransferase.

These degradation pathways and conversion processes, which help us maintain a balanced homocysteine ​​level in the body, depend on a sufficient presence of the necessary enzymes and a sufficient amount of folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and betaine. The B vitamins, in particular, are often taken in complex form because they mutually reinforce each other's effects.
Thus, choline, folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to normal homocysteine ​​metabolism.

Betaine is an oxidation product of choline. Betaine is particularly abundant in carrots, beetroot, sugar beets, and wheat bran. Choline, on the other hand, is found in greater quantities in eggs, fish, meat, milk, and soy products. Folic acid is also found in wheat germ, eggs, and broccoli. It is important to ensure gentle preparation, as many vitamins can be destroyed by prolonged cooking and even prolonged storage.
